I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a stroke last July Hellen can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hellen 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. Hellen worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $250 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120 • Medication and prescriptions: $85 Thanks for reading all this. - Ruth

  • You're not alone, Ruth. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from São Paulo.
