I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After the death of her spouse Anita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anita 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.
Anita worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $550
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
