I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a heart attack Samantha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Samantha 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. Samantha worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $5,100 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $3,450 • Medication and prescriptions: $920 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $180 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $550 I hope life is good to you. - Wesley

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

  • Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Macon.

    • Hope it all works out, Wesley. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best!

      • You're not alone, Wesley. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up.

        • Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. After 23 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

          • You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Envigado.
