Saint-Étienne

I'm caring for me, who's 82. After a heart attack Colette can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Colette 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. Colette worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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 $5,300 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $3,850 • Medication and prescriptions: $680 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $500 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Colette
