I'm caring for me, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Elaine can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elaine desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Elaine worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $720
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
• Medication and prescriptions: $240
If you're reading this, thank you.
