Gold Coast
I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Ariana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ariana desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Ariana worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $4,950 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $470 • Part-time carer (four months): $4,200 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280 If you're reading this, thank you. - Alyssa

                Sure. The biggest one is medication and prescriptions, $470. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
