Beatriz cannot afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we are asking for $900.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After the death of her spouse Beatriz can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Beatriz 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.
Beatriz worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 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 $900 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Part-time carer (six months): $730
Every share and every dollar helps.

Best of luck, Gustavo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Praying for you, Gustavo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Pune
wishing you the best, Gustavo. I hope things turn around soon.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Ciudad de México
Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 14 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
