I'm caring for me, who's 88. After the death of her spouse Michelle can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Michelle desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Michelle worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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 $5,750 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $4,500 • Medication and prescriptions: $320 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $500 Glad we found this place. - Michelle
