I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a diagnosis of dementia Inés can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Inés desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Inés worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $950 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $660 • Medication and prescriptions: $80 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $140 Thank you so much. - Víctor
