Care for Eleanor, 77: help cover a carer and medication in Raleigh

I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a stroke last March Eleanor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eleanor 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. Eleanor worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,550 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $410 • Part-time carer (four months): $2,900 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
