I'm caring for me, who's 76. After the death of her spouse Amani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Amani desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Amani worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $750 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $510 • Medication and prescriptions: $130 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Thinking of you, Amani. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
