I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a stroke last August Nisha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nisha 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. Nisha worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $600 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $90 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25 • Part-time carer (four months): $485 Thank you for reading my story. - Radha
