Lapu-Lapu
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Faith can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Faith desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Faith worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $950 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Part-time carer (three months): $775 Thanks for reading all this.

    Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Los Angeles.

            Hope it all works out, Jasmine. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
