Help Bruna stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a heart attack Bruna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bruna desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Bruna worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $1,300 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $1,000 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $180 Thank you for reading my story.
