I'm caring for me, who's 81. 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 shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $450 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30 • Part-time carer (three months): $390 • Medication and prescriptions: $30 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
