I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a stroke last April Lipi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lipi 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. Lipi worked all of her life as a nurse, 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 $2,850 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,750 • Medication and prescriptions: $250 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $590 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
