I'm caring for me, who's 81. After worsening Parkinson's disease Lamia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lamia 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. Lamia worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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 $500 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $300 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 Thanks for reading all this. - Lamia
