I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a heart attack Grace can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Grace 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. Grace worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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 $6,800 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $4,950 • Medication and prescriptions: $890 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $680 Thank you so much.
