I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After the death of her spouse Leah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Leah 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. Leah worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,350 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (eight months): $2,450 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $280 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400 Thanks for being kind about this.

  • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Beersheba.

    • Sivan OhanaOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in Beersheba I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Rooting for you, Sivan. Hope the doctors have good news. After 13 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

      what exactly is the $3,350 for?

      • Sivan OhanaOwnerAnswer

        The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (eight months) is the biggest at $2,450. It helps to be asked.

    • Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Beersheba

      • Rooting for you, Sivan. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

        • any update on how things are going in Beersheba?

          • You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. After 13 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Arusha.

            • Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Fortaleza.

              • Rooting for you, Sivan. Wishing Leah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings

                • Rooting for you, Sivan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Beersheba!
