I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a stroke last January Tippawan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tippawan 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. Tippawan worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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 $1,350 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,100 • Medication and prescriptions: $75 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 If you're reading this, thank you. - Siriporn
