I'm caring for me, who's 86. After a stroke last July Verónica can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Verónica 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. Verónica worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $1,150 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $820 • Medication and prescriptions: $85 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $145 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
