I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Kerstin can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kerstin 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.
Kerstin worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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 $2,950 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $360
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,300
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kerstin
Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is $360 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Stay strong, Klara. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you, Klara. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Dhaka
