I'm caring for me, who's 95. After a stroke last April Ndeye can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ndeye desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Ndeye worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $1,350 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $330
• Medication and prescriptions: $730
Thank you for reading my story.
