I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a stroke last April Zahra can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zahra 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. Zahra worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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 $250 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Zakaria
