I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a heart attack Diana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Diana 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. Diana worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,650 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $140 • Medication and prescriptions: $290 • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,220 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Diana

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($522 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Kingston so I could bring a meal.

      Hope it all works out. Hope the doctors have good news. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
