I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a heart attack Marisol can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Marisol 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.
Marisol worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $2,050 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190
• Medication and prescriptions: $350
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,510
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you, Carmen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 24 people at work. Thinking of A Coruña.
hope it all works out, Carmen. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Sending strength, Carmen. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of A Coruña
