Lapu-Lapu
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a diagnosis of dementia Perla can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Perla desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Perla worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $1,100 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $930 • Medication and prescriptions: $70 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30 If you're reading this, thank you. - Gemma
