I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Chamari can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chamari 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. Chamari worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $500 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (eight months): $310 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $85 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Buddhini

    sending love. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

      Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

      • Himari Ayaka Sasaki

        Thinking of you, Buddhini. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Taguig.

        • Ling Zheng

          Good luck, Buddhini. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Wollongong

          • Sana Aleena Cheema

            So sorry you're going through this, Buddhini. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 28 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
