I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After a fall and hip fracture Sun-hee can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sun-hee 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.
Sun-hee worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,300
• Medication and prescriptions: $380
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $135
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $435
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
