I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a stroke last August Eliana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eliana 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.
Eliana worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $3,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,300
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $520
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Nairobi.
So sorry you're going through this, Everly. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
