I'm caring for my mother, who's 87. After the death of her spouse Consuelo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Consuelo 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.
Consuelo worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $3,650 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $330
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $175
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,145
With deep gratitude,
Ana

Thinking of you, Ana. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
