I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a heart attack Haritha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Haritha 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.
Haritha worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $460
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
I hope life is good to you.

Keep going, Vidya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
