Maya wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care

I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After the death of her spouse Maya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Maya 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. Maya worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $3,650 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,000 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400 Thank you for reading my story.
