I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a heart attack Donna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Donna 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.
Donna worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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 $4,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,950
• Medication and prescriptions: $310
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $410

Keep going, Jacob. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best.
Thinking of you, Jacob. Hope you get there. God bless.
Thinking of you, Jacob. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of London.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Gliwice this morning. Thinking of London.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together
