Care for Cynthia, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Wollongong
Cynthia can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $5,350.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a diagnosis of dementia Cynthia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cynthia 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.
Cynthia worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $5,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $4,300
• Medication and prescriptions: $330
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $440
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280
