I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After worsening Parkinson's disease Mercy can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mercy 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. Mercy worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $450 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (six months): $260 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $95 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30 I hope life is good to you. - Favour
