I'm caring for me, who's 82. After the death of her spouse Hannah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hannah 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. Hannah worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,700 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $390 • Part-time carer (six months): $2,990 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
