I'm caring for me, who's 93. 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 nurse, 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 $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $630
• Medication and prescriptions: $125
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family, Folake. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
