I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a diagnosis of dementia Zainab can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zainab 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. Zainab worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $850 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $600 • Medication and prescriptions: $95 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
