I'm caring for me, who's 84. After a heart attack Bea can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bea 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. Bea worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,200 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (four months): $950 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $80 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Bea
