I'm caring for me, who's 90. After a stroke last June Khadija can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Khadija 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.
Khadija worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $330
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $10
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Monterrey.
