I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Marta can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Marta desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Marta worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $1,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,500
• Medication and prescriptions: $210
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $140
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Palmira.
