I'm caring for me, who's 93. After the death of her spouse Mia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mia desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Mia worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,700 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $390 • Part-time carer (three months): $3,100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • when's the deadline? Is April firm?

    • Mia B. SchneiderOwnerAnswer

      It's firm, April. After that things get a lot harder, so anything before then helps most. Ask me anything else.

  • Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings

    • does the money go straight to the care agency or to you?

      • Mia B. SchneiderOwnerAnswer

        I pay the care agency and post the receipt here so you can see where it went. Fair thing to want to know.

    • I hope things turn around soon. Take care

      • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mia?

        • Mia B. SchneiderOwnerAnswer

          Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about medication and prescriptions, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.

      • Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.

        • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Mangaluru.
