I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture Lucía can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lucía 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. Lucía worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,050 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $1,850 • Medication and prescriptions: $630 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $300 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
