Stephanie wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care

Stephanie can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $3,100.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After the death of her spouse Stephanie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Stephanie desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Stephanie worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,100 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,150 • Medication and prescriptions: $540 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $215 Every share and every dollar helps.

            Good luck, Alexandra. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
