I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Sumbal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sumbal 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.
Sumbal worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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 $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $410
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
Thank you so much.
