I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a stroke last February Yan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yan 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.
Yan worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $5,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,900
• Medication and prescriptions: $440
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Yan. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Yan?
Thank you. If you're in Auckland I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Get well soon. Thinking of Auckland.
thinking of you and your family, Yan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
Wishing you the best, Yan. This could happen to any of us. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
