Garima wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care

I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a fall and hip fracture Garima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Garima 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. Garima worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $650 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $470 • Medication and prescriptions: $70 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
