I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a diagnosis of dementia Sevgi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sevgi desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Sevgi worked all of her life as a farmer, 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 $950 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $510 • Medication and prescriptions: $145 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $185 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
