Isabela can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $1,750.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After the death of her spouse Isabela can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Isabela 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.
Isabela worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $1,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $200
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
Keep going, Sérgio. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Nha Trang!
you're not alone. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
Sending strength, Sérgio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Vitória da Conquista.

rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Dammam
stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
