Adeline wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care

I'm caring for me, who's 92. After worsening Parkinson's disease Adeline can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adeline 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. Adeline worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $5,400 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $3,950 • Medication and prescriptions: $440 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $690 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Adeline
