Dorcas wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care

I'm caring for me, who's 77. After a heart attack Dorcas can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dorcas 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. Dorcas worked all of her life as a nurse, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $500 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 • Part-time carer (eight months): $340 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
