Patcharee wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care

I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After a fall and hip fracture Patcharee can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Patcharee 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. Patcharee worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $1,200 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,035 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Somsak
