Soledad wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care

I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After the death of her spouse Soledad can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Soledad 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. Soledad worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,000 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $690 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120 • Medication and prescriptions: $190 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Javier
