I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a stroke last May Renata can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Renata 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. Renata 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 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 $1,350 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,100 • Medication and prescriptions: $145 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Ingrid

  • Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Los Angeles.
