I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After the death of her spouse Komal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Komal 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.
Komal worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $360
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30
I hope life is good to you.
