I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Janet can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Janet 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.
Janet worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $480
• Medication and prescriptions: $330
