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:
โข Medication and prescriptions: $630
โข Part-time carer (three months): $2,250
โข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $470
If you're reading this, thank you.

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.
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Hawassa but we're thinking of you.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care!
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Take care, Faith. Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
