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

Soledad can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $4,650.

I'm caring for me, who's 85. 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 30 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 farmer, and raised 5 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 $4,650 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $2,850 • Medication and prescriptions: $770 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $740 Every share and every dollar helps. - Soledad

      Sending good thoughts, Soledad. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
