I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a fall and hip fracture Lauren can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lauren 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.
Lauren worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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 $4,950 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $500
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $400
I hope life is good to you.

hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Knoxville
Best of luck, Axel. This could happen to any of us
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. After 20 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
thinking of you, Axel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of San Antonio.
