I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a diagnosis of dementia Ariana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ariana 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. Ariana worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $4,650 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $510 • Part-time carer (six months): $3,850 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
