I'm caring for me, who's 83. After the death of her spouse Jennifer can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jennifer desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Jennifer worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,500 goes: โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $680 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $470 Thank you so much.

    Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Quezon City.

    • thinking of you and your family, Jennifer. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Dallas.

      • So sorry you're going through this, Jennifer. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up.

        • praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

            Sending strength, Jennifer. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best

            • Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Milan so I could bring a meal. God bless.

              • Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best

                • rooting for you, Jennifer. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.

                  • Rooting for you, Jennifer. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of San Diego.

                    • sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
