I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After a diagnosis of dementia Aisha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aisha desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Aisha worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $650 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $520 • Medication and prescriptions: $45 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 Thank you for reading my story.
