La Plata

I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a diagnosis of dementia Laura can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Laura 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. Laura worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $900 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 • Part-time carer (six months): $750 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Andrés

Updates from Andrés

Update from La Plata: the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. We're at 39% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($290 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from La Plata: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
