Teresa can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $3,900.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After the death of her spouse Teresa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Teresa 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.
Teresa worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $240
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $350
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Aurora. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Campinas so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Coventry

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Lecce.
Thank you. If you're in Lecce I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Lecce.
