I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After worsening Parkinson's disease Carolina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Carolina 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. Carolina 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 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 $1,400 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $930 • Medication and prescriptions: $195 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $130 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $145 I hope life is good to you. - Beatriz

Updates from Beatriz

Good news. Because of your gifts ($403 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($230). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
