I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Danuta can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Danuta 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. Danuta 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 eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $600 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $175 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $210 • Medication and prescriptions: $215 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Oskar
