I'm caring for me, who's 83. After the death of her spouse Lourdes can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lourdes 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. Lourdes worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 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 $3,800 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $2,750 • Medication and prescriptions: $400 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $440 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

          Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
