I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Haruka can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Haruka 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. Haruka worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 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 $3,650 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $160 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400 • Part-time carer (four months): $3,090 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Yuma
