I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a diagnosis of dementia Timur can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Timur desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Timur worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,500 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $1,150 • Medication and prescriptions: $195 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $155 Thanks for being kind about this.
