I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a heart attack Alyssa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Alyssa 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. Alyssa worked all of her life as a farmer, 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 $4,700 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $550 • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,700 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $450 Thanks for reading all this.

  • How is Alyssa doing now?

    • hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 13 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      • thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Leicester but we're thinking of you. God bless.
