I'm caring for me, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia Beth can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Beth desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Beth worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,150 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,050 • Medication and prescriptions: $410 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $330 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $360 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

        Thinking of you, Beth. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
