Noreen wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care

I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a diagnosis of dementia Noreen can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Noreen 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. Noreen worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 (six months): $460 • Medication and prescriptions: $95 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Usman
