I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a fall and hip fracture Dua can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dua desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Dua worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $260
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dua.
It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (eight months) is the big one at $260, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
