Grand Rapids

I'm caring for me, who's 94. After the death of her spouse Nora can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nora desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Nora worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $6,100 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $780 • Medication and prescriptions: $310 • Part-time carer (four months): $5,010 I hope life is good to you. - Nora
