I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Esperanza can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Esperanza 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.
Esperanza worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430
• Medication and prescriptions: $520
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

best of luck, Alejandra. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Contagem so I could bring a meal. Take care.
