I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Osama can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Osama desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Osama worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $4,500 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $350
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,900
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love, Osama. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Noida!
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
