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

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Paarl.
You're not alone, Esteban. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Hubballi but we're thinking of you.
Sending love, Esteban. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
best of luck, Esteban. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
