I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a diagnosis of dementia Zoe can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zoe 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. Zoe worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $4,250 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,950 • Medication and prescriptions: $530 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $570 With deep gratitude, Naomi
