I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After the death of her spouse Shima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shima 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. Shima worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $3,400 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,650 • Medication and prescriptions: $330 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $185 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $235 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
