I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a stroke last April Clara can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Clara desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Clara worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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 $4,000 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350 • Medication and prescriptions: $660 • Part-time carer (three months): $2,990 Every share and every dollar helps. - Dustin
