I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Megan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Megan 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. Megan worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $1,100 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $740 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $185 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Megan
