I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a heart attack 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 40 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 nurse, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,650 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (three months): $3,250 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $710 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430 I hope life is good to you. - Zoey

  • Take care. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Laredo.

    • Sending strength, Zoey. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

      • Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. After 19 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        • Rooting for you, Zoey. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

            sending love. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Palermo donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

            • So sorry you're going through this, Zoey. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of London.
