Dignity in old age: caring for Ani

I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a stroke last February Ani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ani 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. Ani worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $600 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $400 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 I hope life is good to you. - Fani
