Half-Way Tree
I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Camille can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Camille 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. Camille worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 3 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $2,150 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $1,700 • Medication and prescriptions: $210 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $140 Thanks for being kind about this. - Aaliyah
