I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a fall and hip fracture Ingrid can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ingrid 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. Ingrid worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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 $4,900 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $3,400 • Medication and prescriptions: $670 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $450 With deep gratitude, Felix
