Verónica, 84, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $400 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a fall and hip fracture Verónica can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Verónica 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.
Verónica 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $400 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $195
• Medication and prescriptions: $130
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Verónica
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is the biggest at $195. Thanks for looking so closely.
keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bogra.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Verónica?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about mobility aids and bathroom adaptations, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Stay strong, Julián. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Guadalupe.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Praying for you, Julián. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from El Paso
