Miguel can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $1,650.

I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a heart attack Miguel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Miguel desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Miguel worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 2 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 $1,650 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125 • Part-time carer (six months): $1,300 • Medication and prescriptions: $225 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 58% funded and I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 81% now ($1,336). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
