Rotterdam

I'm caring for me, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Sara can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sara desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Sara worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $4,200 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $480 • Part-time carer (three months): $3,350 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $370 Every share and every dollar helps. - Sara
