Andrea wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
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.

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.
