Dignity in old age: caring for Nao
Nao can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $3,200.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Nao can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nao 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.
Nao worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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 $3,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,500
• Medication and prescriptions: $260
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $245
Thank you for reading my story.
