Beth, 92, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,150 for a carer and medicines.

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

Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together
thanks for sharing this, Beth. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Thinking of you, Beth. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Córdoba but we're thinking of you. Love from Córdoba.
Get well soon. Don't give up. Love from Noida
