I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a heart attack Radha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Radha desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Radha worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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 $800 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $620 • Medication and prescriptions: $90 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Indira

I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
