Care for Denise, 77: help cover a carer and medication in Perth
Help Denise stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Denise can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Denise desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Denise worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $390
• Medication and prescriptions: $470
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
Thank you for reading my story.
