I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a diagnosis of dementia Rory can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rory 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. Rory worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $3,550 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,950 • Medication and prescriptions: $410 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $190 I hope life is good to you. - Grainne

Thank you all. We're at 2% now ($60). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
Small update. $10 so far, we've started the first stage. - Grainne
