I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After the death of her spouse Annabelle can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Annabelle 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. Annabelle worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $5,700 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $4,500 • Medication and prescriptions: $460 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $510 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
