I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Esther can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Esther desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Esther worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $750
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Lagos
Thinking of you and your family. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Padua!
Stay strong, Modupe. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Duque de Caxias.
