I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a stroke last May Liza can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Liza 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. Liza worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $950 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $750 • Medication and prescriptions: $80 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Dante

      Wishing you peace, Dante. Hope you get there. After 22 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
