I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After the death of her spouse Isabelle can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Isabelle desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Isabelle worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $5,150 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,200
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360
• Medication and prescriptions: $590
Thanks for being kind about this.
