I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After the death of her spouse Eliane can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eliane desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Eliane worked all of her life as a farmer, 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 $1,200 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95 • Part-time carer (three months): $940 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165 With deep gratitude, Francisca

Updates from Francisca

Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($210). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations.
