I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After the death of her spouse Hanna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hanna 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.
Hanna worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $990
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $170
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
Glad we found this place.
