Alejandra can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $2,350.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After worsening Parkinson's disease Alejandra can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Alejandra 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.
Alejandra worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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 $2,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $270
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $410
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
