I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After worsening Parkinson's disease Aurora can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aurora desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Aurora worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $1,400 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $460
• Medication and prescriptions: $370
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $570
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
