Home care fund for Thandi in George

George
I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After a fall and hip fracture Thandi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Thandi 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. Thandi worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $1,500 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,100 • Medication and prescriptions: $195 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 If you're reading this, thank you. - Charlene
