Care for Beatrice, 85: help cover a carer and medication in Accra
Beatrice can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last April; we're asking for $450.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a stroke last April Beatrice can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Beatrice 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.
Beatrice worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $450 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
• Part-time carer (four months): $340
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
I hope life is good to you.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Accra
Thank you. If you're in Accra I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Ciudad de México
You're not alone, Elizabeth. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Surakarta
Stay strong, Elizabeth. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted. Love from Arlington.
