I'm caring for me, who's 75. After worsening Parkinson's disease Sunita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sunita desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Sunita worked all of her life as a farmer, 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 $5,450 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $4,050 • Medication and prescriptions: $730 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $400 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $270 Glad we found this place. - Sunita

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 5% funded and I made the first payment toward part-time carer.
