I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After the death of her spouse Gloria can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gloria desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Gloria worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $2,550 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $1,500 • Medication and prescriptions: $470 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310 Thank you for reading my story.
