I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After the death of her spouse Nuria can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nuria desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Nuria worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,350 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $820 • Medication and prescriptions: $240 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Paula

Updates from Paula

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($19 in total) the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

        Hang in there, Paula. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
