Care for Aaliyah, 91: help cover a carer and medication in Anaheim
Aaliyah, 91, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $4,000 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After the death of her spouse Aaliyah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aaliyah 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.
Aaliyah worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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 $4,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $580
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340

Wishing you the best, Doris. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.

Wishing Aaliyah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Seattle.
You're not alone, Doris. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing Aaliyah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. I hope August is when things finally get easier
