Care for Lourdes, 86: help cover a carer and medication in Puebla
Lourdes, 86, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,550 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a stroke last July Lourdes can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lourdes 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.
Lourdes worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,250
• Medication and prescriptions: $165
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
