Citra wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Citra stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a diagnosis of dementia Citra can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Citra desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Citra worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $330
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
I hope life is good to you.
