I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After the death of her spouse Nadia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nadia 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. Nadia worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,450 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $890 • Medication and prescriptions: $250 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $185 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Halyna

  2. Small update. $394 so far, we've started the first stage.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($320 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Thinking of you, Halyna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

        Sending strength, Halyna. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
