I'm caring for me, who's 86. After a diagnosis of dementia Bithi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bithi desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Bithi worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $600
• Medication and prescriptions: $40
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
With deep gratitude,
Bithi
