Parramatta

I'm caring for me, who's 93. After a diagnosis of dementia Brandon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Brandon 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. Brandon worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $2,650 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $450 • Medication and prescriptions: $420 • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,780 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
