I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After the death of her spouse Natália can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Natália 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.
Natália worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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 $1,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $930
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you, Ingrid. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
