Andrea, 90, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,000 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Andrea can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Andrea 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. Andrea worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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 $3,000 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $1,950 • Medication and prescriptions: $420 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ángel

    Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Andrea a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out

      hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together.
