I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a heart attack Aarti can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aarti 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. Aarti worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $800 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $670 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Kiara

Updates from Kiara

  1. Small update. $157 so far, the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled.

  2. Quick update: $112 raised so far (14%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($85). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
