I'm caring for me, who's 95. After a heart attack Ruben can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ruben desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Ruben worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $3,100 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240 • Medication and prescriptions: $250 • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,610 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ruben
