I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Zenaida can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zenaida 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.
Zenaida worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $560
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
If you're reading this, thank you.

Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
You're not alone, Jomar. Hope you get there. Greetings from Newcastle
