I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a stroke last August Gianna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gianna 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. Gianna worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $1,100 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $880 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        Take care. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
