I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a stroke last May Clara can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Clara 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.
Clara worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $4,650 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310
• Medication and prescriptions: $360
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,980
Thanks for reading all this.

Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Burnaby so I could bring a meal. All the best
