Dolores can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $1,750.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After the death of her spouse Dolores can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dolores desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Dolores worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,750 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,200 • Medication and prescriptions: $240 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220 With deep gratitude, Esteban
