I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a stroke last May Kinsley can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kinsley 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.
Kinsley worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $5,850 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $400
• Medication and prescriptions: $630
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,820
If you're reading this, thank you.

Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Łódź
Get well soon. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Bang Khen.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. Love from Malang
thanks for sharing this. 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
