Parvati wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care

I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a diagnosis of dementia Parvati can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Parvati 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. Parvati worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $550 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 • Part-time carer (four months): $490 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $20 Thank you for reading my story.
