Adriana can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $1,300.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a diagnosis of dementia Adriana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adriana 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.
Adriana worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $1,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $850
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there. Get well soon. Greetings from Kampala.
Thanks for sharing this, Thiago. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
