Danuta wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care

I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a heart attack Danuta can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Danuta 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. Danuta worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $1,250 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $840 • Medication and prescriptions: $150 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $130 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Robert
