I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a heart attack Noor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Noor 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. Noor worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $1,350 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $500 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230 • Medication and prescriptions: $620 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

        Rooting for you, Anne. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
