Help Hazel stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Hazel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hazel 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.
Hazel worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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:
• Medication and prescriptions: $610
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,030
Thanks for reading all this.
