I'm caring for me, who's 74. After a stroke last November Miguel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Miguel desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Miguel worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,050 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $710 • Medication and prescriptions: $130 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130 Thank you for reading my story. - Miguel

    Thanks for sharing this, Miguel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

      This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Lowell but we're thinking of you. Blessings!
