I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a heart attack Julia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Julia 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.
Julia worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $4,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,100
• Medication and prescriptions: $860
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $500
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck, Crystal. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Nuremberg.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Julia.
It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (eight months) is the big one at $3,100, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Good luck, Crystal. Wishing Julia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted.
Hope it all works out, Crystal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
