I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Nicole can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nicole desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Nicole worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $550 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70 • Part-time carer (four months): $360 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Gilbert
