Three sisters and a “little madhouse” of love: Help for my mother and aunts in Venezuela

Our story

I returned to Maracaibo to care for my mother and my two aunts—three older sisters living with vulnerability, cognitive decline, disability, health needs, and a home that urgently requires attention.

What I found when I arrived was a difficult reality: unmet basic needs, health problems, safety risks in the home, and a daily caregiving burden that requires constant presence.

With my working life on hold and very high monthly expenses, I cannot sustain this responsibility alone.

Your help allows me to provide food, hygiene, medical care, a safer home, and—most importantly—continuity of care.

Main needs

• Non-perishable foods
• Protein: eggs, sardines, tuna, and affordable cuts of meat
• Dairy products and natural fats
• Medicines and medical appointments
• Personal hygiene products
• Household cleaning products
• Bathroom, kitchen, and electrical repairs
• Air-conditioning maintenance
• Transportation for appointments and errands
• Caregiver relief for rest and support
• Structural safety of the home

Estimated monthly budget

Food and basic hygiene needed to sustain daily life.

This amount may vary depending on prices and availability in Maracaibo.

Health needs

My mother and aunts require medical evaluation, ongoing health monitoring, and specialized support.

Transparency

I keep records of donations received, expenses, purchases, and progress.

For safety reasons, I do not publish every amount, but I remain accountable with responsibility and honesty.
