I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a diagnosis of dementia Adriana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adriana desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Adriana worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $1,300 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $850 • Medication and prescriptions: $100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Thiago

  • Hang in there. Get well soon. Greetings from Kampala.

    • Thanks for sharing this, Thiago. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
