I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a stroke last December Thảo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Thảo desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Thảo worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $550 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Part-time carer (six months): $380 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Nam

    Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Entebbe so I could bring a meal. Blessings!
