Jennifer wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Jennifer stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 83. After a heart attack Jennifer can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jennifer 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.
Jennifer worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $5,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,800
• Medication and prescriptions: $540
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $440
If you're reading this, thank you.
