Zoey wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Zoey stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States1,683 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After the death of her spouse Zoey can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zoey desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Zoey worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $3,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,750
• Medication and prescriptions: $530
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $460
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $510
If you're reading this, thank you.

Take care. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 29 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Buenos Aires.
Wishing you peace, Alexandra. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
