24/7 carer

Debbie
12/07/2022

I am a full time 24/7 carer of my Mum. £69.70 carers allowance is so difficult to make ends meet. I get so upset when people including my brother and mums sisters and brothers say you have it easy not working sitting at home all day. If only they would understand how hard work it is being a carer all day, all night having everything to do for the person you care for. Lack of sleep on the go all day never being able to relax. It would be nice if we were appreciated once and a while.
