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

I'm caring for me, who's 93. After the death of her spouse Sofía can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sofía desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Sofía worked all of her 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 eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,850
• Medication and prescriptions: $530
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $750
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Sofía
Quick update: $111 raised so far (3%). I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($711). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled.
