I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After the death of her spouse Hatice can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hatice 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. Hatice worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $1,400 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,050 • Medication and prescriptions: $135 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Zeynep
