Ai wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Ai can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $4,050.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a heart attack Ai can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ai 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.
Ai 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 eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,900
• Medication and prescriptions: $450
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380
Thanks for being kind about this.

Praying for you, Long. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
sending love, Long. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
Praying for you, Long. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Jabalpur donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of San Diego.
Best of luck, Long. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Casablanca.
Hope things get better soon, Long. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of San Diego.
