Halyna wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Halyna can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $850.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a diagnosis of dementia Halyna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Halyna 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.
Halyna worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
• Part-time carer (four months): $690
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
Thanks for reading all this.
