Care for Rosa, 94: help cover a carer and medication in Toledo

Help Rosa stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

Toledo
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a stroke last August Rosa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rosa desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Rosa worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,700 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $2,450 • Medication and prescriptions: $560 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Sofía
