Home care fund for Lourdes in Angeles
Lourdes can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $1,000.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Lourdes can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lourdes 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.
Lourdes worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $690
• Medication and prescriptions: $145
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Angeles.
Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
