Care for Esperanza, 91: help cover a carer and medication in Cali
Esperanza can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $1,050.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After worsening Parkinson's disease Esperanza can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Esperanza 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.
Esperanza worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $1,050 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130
• Part-time carer (four months): $870
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

sending good thoughts, Consuelo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from San Fernando.
Stay strong, Consuelo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 13 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out!
