I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a stroke last July Titilayo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Titilayo desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Titilayo worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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 $600 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $390 • Medication and prescriptions: $95 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 Thank you for reading my story. - Titilayo
