I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a diagnosis of dementia Thảo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Thảo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Thảo worked all of her 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,150
• Medication and prescriptions: $360
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $390
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $450
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
