I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After worsening Parkinson's disease Rina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rina 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.
Rina worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $540
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
