I'm caring for me, who's 80. After a diagnosis of dementia Fatima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fatima 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. Fatima worked all of her life as a nurse, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $500 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $300 • Medication and prescriptions: $65 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Fatima

      Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Cluj-Napoca but we're thinking of you.

      • Teresa L. Quintero

        Keep going. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Juazeiro do Norte so I could bring a meal.
