Kiara can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last March; we're asking for $400.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a stroke last March Kiara can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kiara 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. Kiara worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $400 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $280 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Medication and prescriptions: $55 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Alok
