I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a diagnosis of dementia Sophia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sophia desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Sophia worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $4,450 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270 • Part-time carer (four months): $3,800 • Medication and prescriptions: $380 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Isabelle
