Care for Adriana, 95: help cover a carer and medication in Iztapalapa
Adriana can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $1,800.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After worsening Parkinson's disease Adriana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adriana 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.
Adriana worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $250
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Iztapalapa
