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

I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a fall and hip fracture Ruma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ruma 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. Ruma worked all of her life as a nurse, 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 $450 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $250 • Medication and prescriptions: $80 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 Thank you for reading my story.
