La Plata
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After the death of her spouse Ximena can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ximena desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Ximena 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 six 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 (six months): $680 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

              shared this with my family. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of La Plata.
