I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a stroke last August Shaista can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shaista 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. Shaista worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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 $450 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $280 • Medication and prescriptions: $80 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
