I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Zalak can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zalak 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.
Zalak worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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 $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $690
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Thank you so much.
