I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After the death of her spouse Ximena can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ximena desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Ximena 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 three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,600 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,200 • Medication and prescriptions: $130 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Valentina

      Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
