I'm caring for me, who's 96. After the death of her spouse Mehwish can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mehwish 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. Mehwish 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 $650 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $490 • Medication and prescriptions: $95 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Mehwish
