I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a heart attack Elmarie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elmarie 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. Elmarie worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $400 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $105 • Medication and prescriptions: $215 Thank you so much. - Vusi
