Chalida wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Chalida cannot afford the care She needs after a stroke last May; we are asking for $1,250.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a stroke last May Chalida can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chalida 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.
Chalida worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $920
• Medication and prescriptions: $180
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
