I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Fatima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fatima desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Fatima worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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 $400 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $230 • Medication and prescriptions: $55 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Amaka

  • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Rosario.

    • Shared it with a few friends. After 26 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
