Home care fund for Beatriz in Barranquilla
Help Beatriz stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a stroke last November Beatriz can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Beatriz 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.
Beatriz worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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 $1,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,100
• Medication and prescriptions: $155
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Kingston donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Sending love. Shared this with my family. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Rome.
Thanks for sharing this, Camila. Wishing Beatriz a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Jakarta Barat.
