I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a stroke last August Chiara can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chiara 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.
Chiara 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 $2,650 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $340
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,195
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing Chiara a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
