I'm caring for me, who's 81. After the death of his spouse Hamza can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hamza desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Hamza worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $4,450 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $3,700 • Medication and prescriptions: $470 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
