I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Netsanet can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Netsanet 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. Netsanet worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $550 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $370 • Medication and prescriptions: $55 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 Glad we found this place. - Yared

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 11% funded and I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.

  3. 5% there. I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. Thank you.
