I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Dewi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dewi 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.
Dewi worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $250 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
If you're reading this, thank you.
