I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a diagnosis of dementia Hannah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hannah 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. Hannah worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,050 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $800 • Medication and prescriptions: $130 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65 Thank you for reading my story.

Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($70). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
