I'm caring for me, who's 82. After a stroke last July Esther can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Esther 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. Esther worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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 $250 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $115 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70 I hope life is good to you.

  • sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. After 17 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

    • Thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

      • Keep going, Esther. Looking forward to the next update!
