I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Willow can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Willow 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.
Willow worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $6,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,950
• Medication and prescriptions: $640
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $400
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460
Thank you for reading my story.

wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Praying for you, Hadley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
