Zoe wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Zoe stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom1,302 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a stroke last July Zoe can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zoe desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Zoe worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,800
• Medication and prescriptions: $480
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $610
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

sending strength, Sebastian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Glasgow.
best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Joliet.
