Dignity in old age: caring for Fitria

Fitria, 92, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $150 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After the death of her spouse Fitria can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fitria 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. Fitria worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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 $150 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $50 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
