I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a fall and hip fracture Joanna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Joanna 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. Joanna 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 three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $2,350 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,650 • Medication and prescriptions: $260 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $105 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $335 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Tomasz

    Honest and trustworthy

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. After 13 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Moscow donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Katowice.
