I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Letícia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Letícia 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.
Letícia worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $850 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85
• Medication and prescriptions: $125
• Part-time carer (four months): $640
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
