Dignity in old age: caring for Angelica
Angelica, 93, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $850 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for me, who's 93. After a fall and hip fracture Angelica can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Angelica 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.
Angelica worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
• Part-time carer (three months): $705
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
