Guadalupe wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care

Guadalupe can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $1,150.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a heart attack Guadalupe can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Guadalupe 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. Guadalupe worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,150 goes: โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $670 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $260 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Diego
