Lina can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last June; we're asking for $700.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a stroke last June Lina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lina 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.
Lina 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 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 $700 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Part-time carer (six months): $590
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Amal
Good news. Because of your gifts ($141 in total) I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Alexandria: we've started the first stage. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $91 raised so far (13%). I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
