I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a fall and hip fracture Joya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Joya desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Joya worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $450 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Part-time carer (eight months): $250
If you're reading this, thank you.
