I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After the death of her spouse Aaliyah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aaliyah desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Aaliyah worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,000 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $2,650 • Medication and prescriptions: $580 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

          You're not alone, Doris. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
