I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Linh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Linh 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.
Linh worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $800 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
• Part-time carer (four months): $665
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Linh.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. medication and prescriptions comes first ($80) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best!
Sending good thoughts, Hà. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
