Care for Hadley, 83: help cover a carer and medication in Sydney
Hadley can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last July; we're asking for $5,150.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a stroke last July Hadley can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hadley 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.
Hadley worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $5,150 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $410
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $470
• Part-time carer (six months): $4,270
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Charlotte. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Rotterdam.
