I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After the death of her spouse Irina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Irina 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. Irina 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 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 $2,250 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,900 • Medication and prescriptions: $130 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    • it takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Cluj-Napoca.

      • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Irina.

        • Take care, Alexandra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Cluj-Napoca.

          • Shared it with a few friends. Love from Hubballi

            • Thinking of you and your family, Alexandra. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.

              • Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
