I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a fall and hip fracture Lily can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lily 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. Lily worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $5,000 goes: โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $290 โ€ข Part-time carer (four months): $4,450 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
