Dignity in old age: caring for Faith

Help Faith stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Faith can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Faith 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. Faith worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 2 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,350 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $630 • Part-time carer (three months): $2,250 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $470 If you're reading this, thank you. - Faith

    wishing you peace, Faith. I hope things turn around soon. After 26 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

    • Landon A. Lawrence

      Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Hawassa but we're thinking of you.

      • Kevin Tillman

        Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care!

        • Michael C. Gilbert

          Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          • Ayaan E. Bisht

            Take care, Faith. Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
