I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Emilia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Emilia 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. Emilia worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $1,100 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $830 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85 • Medication and prescriptions: $185 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Jan
