I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a stroke last August Marisol can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Marisol 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. Marisol worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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 $1,150 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $750 • Medication and prescriptions: $230 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
