Dignity in old age: caring for Hala
Hala can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last May; we're asking for $800.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a stroke last May Hala can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hala 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.
Hala worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $550
• Medication and prescriptions: $135
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
