I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After the death of her spouse Paula can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Paula 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.
Paula 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,450
• Medication and prescriptions: $610
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $160
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, Juan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Stay strong, Juan. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from São Paulo.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope December is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Stockholm but we're thinking of you. All the best
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Ankara so I could bring a meal. All the best.
stay strong, Juan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
