I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a stroke last August Kelly can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kelly 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. Kelly worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,700 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,350 • Medication and prescriptions: $260 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
