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

Help Wafa stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After worsening Parkinson's disease Wafa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wafa 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. Wafa worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $3,350 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,800 • Medication and prescriptions: $180 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $370 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Imad
