I'm caring for me, who's 87. After worsening Parkinson's disease Carolina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Carolina 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.
Carolina worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,050
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $150
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
