I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a stroke last November Esra can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Esra 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. Esra worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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 $3,900 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,800 • Medication and prescriptions: $430 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
