I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After the death of her spouse Ines can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ines desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Ines worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $590
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30
Glad we found this place.

Shared this with my family. We're a small family in The Hague but we're thinking of you!
