I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After the death of her spouse Khadija can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Khadija 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. Khadija worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $600 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $450 • Medication and prescriptions: $65 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 Thanks for being kind about this. - Nonso
