Maryam wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care

I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a fall and hip fracture Maryam can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Maryam 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. Maryam worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $5,550 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $4,400 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $450 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $700 Thank you for reading my story.
