I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a stroke last July Gabriella can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gabriella 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.
Gabriella worked all of her life as a nurse, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $570
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $240
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290
Thanks for reading all this.
