I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After worsening Parkinson's disease Aubree can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aubree 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. Aubree worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 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 $4,900 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $3,500 • Medication and prescriptions: $760 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $185 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $455 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Hazel

            Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Half-Way Tree.
