Home care fund for Jing in Gold Coast

I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Jing can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jing 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. Jing worked all of her life as a nurse, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,800 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $2,500 • Medication and prescriptions: $490 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $540 Every share and every dollar helps. - Rong
