Help Mackenzie stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a heart attack Mackenzie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mackenzie 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.
Mackenzie worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $4,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,000
• Medication and prescriptions: $440
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $650
Thanks for reading all this.
