I'm caring for me, who's 87. After the death of her spouse Hesti can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hesti 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. Hesti worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $650 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $60 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Part-time carer (eight months): $550 Thank you so much.
