I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After the death of her spouse Charlotte can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Charlotte desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Charlotte worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,000
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $185
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $265
With deep gratitude,
Tim

Best of luck, Tim. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. After 15 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
