I'm caring for me, who's 79. After the death of her spouse Vida can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vida 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. Vida 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 four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $650 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $410 • Medication and prescriptions: $100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Vida

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vida

    • Vida Georgina ObengOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (four months) comes first ($410) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
