Stephanie can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $3,100.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After the death of her spouse Stephanie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Stephanie 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.
Stephanie 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 four 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:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,150
• Medication and prescriptions: $540
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $215
Every share and every dollar helps.
