I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After worsening Parkinson's disease Claudia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Claudia desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Claudia worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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 $1,450 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $250 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165 • Part-time carer (three months): $1,035 With deep gratitude, Silvia
