I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a stroke last December Anna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anna desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Anna worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $1,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $790
• Medication and prescriptions: $230
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anna
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (eight months) comes first ($790) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
wishing you peace. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope things get better soon, Kirill. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Lahore this morning.
Sending strength, Kirill. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Oaxaca de Juárez.
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 25 people at work. Greetings from Jakarta.
