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. - Osama

        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!
