I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a stroke last July Vani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vani 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. Vani worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $3,350 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380 • Part-time carer (three months): $2,400 • Medication and prescriptions: $570 Thank you for reading my story. - Diya
