I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a heart attack Monique can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Monique 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.
Monique 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 $2,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $650
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $190
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this, Vincent. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Take care.
