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

Help Stephanie stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a heart attack 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 25 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 seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,200 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $2,400 • Medication and prescriptions: $940 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $440 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Aurora

    Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Niterói.

    • Carla Veronica Esposito

      Wishing you peace. Get well soon. After 21 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        Rooting for you, Aurora. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Marseille but we're thinking of you.

        • Susana P. Escobar

          So sorry you're going through this, Aurora. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

          • Mackenzie K. Kendrick

            wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 22 people at work. Love from Bogotá

            • Luuk Martijn De Wit

              Keep going, Aurora. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Hialeah but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Riverside.
