Riley wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care

Help Riley stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a stroke last February Riley can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Riley 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. Riley worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $6,600 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $5,000 • Medication and prescriptions: $760 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $440 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
