I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After the death of her spouse Nova can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nova desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Nova worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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 $4,950 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,600 • Medication and prescriptions: $650 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $320 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Aria
