I'm caring for me, who's 77. After a stroke last November Alexei can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Alexei desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Alexei worked all of his 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 $1,500 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Part-time carer (six months): $1,350 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Alexei
