Bezawit wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Bezawit stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 83. After a heart attack Bezawit can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bezawit desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Bezawit worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $400 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Part-time carer (eight months): $270
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

How is Bezawit doing now?
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Adama
Sending good thoughts, Bezawit. Wishing Bezawit a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Phuket
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Mannheim so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Hang in there, Bezawit. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending strength, Bezawit. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
