I'm caring for me, who's 81. After a fall and hip fracture Chinedu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chinedu desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Chinedu worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $550 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $330 • Medication and prescriptions: $65 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Chinedu
