I'm caring for me, who's 96. After the death of her spouse Grace can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Grace 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.
Grace worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $2,400 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,800
• Medication and prescriptions: $320
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
