I'm caring for me, who's 93. After a heart attack Rubina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rubina desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Rubina worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $400 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $230
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
