I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Taslima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Taslima 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. Taslima worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $650 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $480 • Medication and prescriptions: $55 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $20 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 Thank you for reading my story.
