Care for Denise, 81: help cover a carer and medication in San Jose
Help Denise stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a diagnosis of dementia Denise can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Denise 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.
Denise worked all of her life as a farmer, 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 $4,850 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $570
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,850
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430
