I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a stroke last June Gabriela can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gabriela desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Gabriela 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 six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,500 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $230 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120 • Part-time carer (six months): $1,150 Thank you so much. - Emilio
