I'm caring for my mother, who's 87. After a fall and hip fracture Heike can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Heike 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. Heike worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $2,500 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,500 • Medication and prescriptions: $410 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $160 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Jürgen
