I'm caring for me, who's 84. After a stroke last May Isabella can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Isabella desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Isabella worked all of her life as a farmer, 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 $3,700 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $390 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $200 • Part-time carer (four months): $3,110 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
