I'm caring for me, who's 89. After a diagnosis of dementia Bakari can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bakari desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Bakari worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $600 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $360 • Medication and prescriptions: $50 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $145 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
