I'm caring for me, who's 86. After a diagnosis of dementia Robert can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Robert desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Robert worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,200 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $590 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210 I hope life is good to you. - Robert
