Care for Susana, 77: help cover a carer and medication in Mendoza
Susana can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last July; we're asking for $750.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a stroke last July Susana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Susana 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.
Susana worked all of her life as a farmer, 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): $480
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
Thanks for being kind about this.

you're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mendoza!
Thank you. If you're in Mendoza I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Salem.
Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Accra so I could bring a meal. Love from Jerusalem.
Stay strong. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Patras donated after I showed her your page
Thinking of you and your family, Marta. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
this could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
