Adriana, 75, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,250 for a carer and medicines.
🇲🇽 Ciudad de México, Mexico1,064 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After the death of her spouse 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 40 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 nurse, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95
• Part-time carer (three months): $870
• Medication and prescriptions: $285
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family, Marisol. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Hope things get better soon, Marisol. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
