I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. 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 farmer, and raised 3 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,850 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $570 • Part-time carer (six months): $3,850 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430 If you're reading this, thank you. - Eugene
