I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After worsening Parkinson's disease Hiba can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hiba desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Hiba worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 2 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 $2,900 goes: โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $480 โ€ข Part-time carer (four months): $2,170 Thank you so much. - Karim
