I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a heart attack Allison can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Allison desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Allison 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 four 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 $4,100 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $610 • Medication and prescriptions: $710 • Part-time carer (four months): $2,780 If you're reading this, thank you.
