Care for Nevaeh, 94: help cover a carer and medication in Wollongong
Help Nevaeh stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world983 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a stroke last July Nevaeh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nevaeh 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.
Nevaeh worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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 $4,500 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $550
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,400
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $550
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
