I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a stroke last August Natalia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Natalia desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Natalia worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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 $1,750 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,200 • Medication and prescriptions: $210 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $195 Thanks for reading all this.
