I'm caring for me, who's 76. After the death of her spouse Sita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sita 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.
Sita 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 six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $600
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $20
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
