Amelia can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last May; we're asking for $850.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a stroke last May Amelia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Amelia 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.
Amelia worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $850 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $290
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250
Thank you for reading my story.
