I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a stroke last June Yamuna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yamuna 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. Yamuna worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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 $950 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $770 • Medication and prescriptions: $95 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 Thanks for being kind about this. - Kumar
