I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Folake can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Folake 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. Folake worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $450 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $280 • Medication and prescriptions: $40 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
