Corrie can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last March; we're asking for $3,150.

I'm caring for me, who's 80. After a stroke last March Corrie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Corrie 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.
Corrie worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,150
• Medication and prescriptions: $520
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190
I hope life is good to you.

How is Corrie doing now?
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Love from Kraków.
Praying for you. Wishing Corrie a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Corrie. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
