I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Kelly can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kelly 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.
Kelly worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $840
• Medication and prescriptions: $250
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $195

Hope it all works out, Anderson. Wishing Kelly a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of São Paulo.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

Stay strong, Anderson. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Hang in there. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Iloilo City.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in London this morning. Take care!
Sending strength, Anderson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
this could happen to any of us. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of São Paulo.
