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

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Karina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Karina 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.
Karina worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,050
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $185
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $365
Every share and every dollar helps.
