I'm caring for me, who's 90. After a stroke last June Khadija can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Khadija 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. Khadija worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $500 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $330 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $10 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Khadija
