I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a heart attack Lorena can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lorena desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Lorena 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 three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,800 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,450 • Medication and prescriptions: $115 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $130 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Nakuru so I could bring a meal.

            Sending love, Abril. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Bakersfield donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

              Wishing you peace, Abril. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
