I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia Inés can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Inés 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.
Inés worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $165
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

thanks for sharing this, Lorenzo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 4 people at work. Take care.
