I'm caring for me, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Usha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Usha desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Usha worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $650 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
• Part-time carer (six months): $540
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
If you're reading this, thank you.
