Care for Emma, 92: help cover a carer and medication in Mandurah
Emma can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $5,700.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia Emma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Emma 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.
Emma worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $5,700 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $4,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $820
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $530
I hope life is good to you.
