Jabalpur

I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a fall and hip fracture Popy can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Popy desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Popy worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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 $800 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $560 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 With deep gratitude, Jewel

Thinking of you, Jewel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
