I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Manisha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Manisha desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Manisha worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $540
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
