Dolores wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Dolores stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world707 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a stroke last August Dolores can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dolores desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Dolores 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 six 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 $950 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $190
• Part-time carer (six months): $660
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
Thanks for reading all this.
