Care for Ivy, 87: help cover a carer and medication in Hamilton

I'm caring for my mother, who's 87. After a fall and hip fracture Ivy can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ivy desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Ivy worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,100 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $350 • Medication and prescriptions: $470 Thanks for being kind about this. - Angel
