Mercy wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Mercy stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a heart attack Mercy can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mercy 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.
Mercy worked all of her life as a nurse, 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 $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $430
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
