I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After a fall and hip fracture Esperanza can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Esperanza 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.
Esperanza worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220
• Part-time carer (four months): $760
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
