Marta wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Marta stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a fall and hip fracture Marta can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Marta 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.
Marta worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $1,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,500
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
• Medication and prescriptions: $190
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this, Josefa. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of San Nicolás de los Garza.
hope things get better soon, Josefa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. God bless!
