I'm caring for me, who's 93. After a stroke last August Reagan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Reagan desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Reagan worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 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 $6,250 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (four months): $4,650 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $790 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $390 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Reagan
