Elena wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care

I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a stroke last April Elena can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elena desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Elena worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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 $550 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $310 • Medication and prescriptions: $100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50 If you're reading this, thank you. - Hazel
