I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After a diagnosis of dementia Ceren can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ceren 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. Ceren worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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 $1,450 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,100 • Medication and prescriptions: $160 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 Thanks for being kind about this. - Burcu

  • So sorry you're going through this, Burcu. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
