I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After a stroke last June Fon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fon 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. Fon worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,500 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,300 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115 • Medication and prescriptions: $85 Thank you so much. - Darunee

Updates from Darunee

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 26% funded and the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled.

          Hope things get better soon, Darunee. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
