I'm caring for me, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Matilde can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Matilde 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. Matilde worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 2 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 $2,800 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,550 • Medication and prescriptions: $720 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $300 Thank you for reading my story. - Matilde
