Help Anna stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a heart attack Anna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anna 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. Anna worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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 $4,700 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $3,000 • Medication and prescriptions: $860 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Angel
