Laura wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Laura can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $1,150.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After the death of her spouse Laura can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Laura 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.
Laura worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $1,150 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $155
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115
• Part-time carer (six months): $880
Thanks for reading all this.

Best of luck, Regina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
