I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a heart attack Luciana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Luciana 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.
Luciana worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $190
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,350
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

hang in there, Sônia. Wishing Luciana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Lapu-Lapu but we're thinking of you. Blessings
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Bhaktapur donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Stay strong, Sônia. Shared it with a few friends. I hope April is when things finally get easier. God bless
So sorry you're going through this, Sônia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Thanks for sharing this, Sônia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
