I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a stroke last June Sarah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sarah desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Sarah worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $600 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Medication and prescriptions: $145
• Part-time carer (eight months): $410
