I'm caring for me, who's 86. After a diagnosis of dementia Deepak can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Deepak desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Deepak worked all of his 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 six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,450 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (six months): $3,750 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $180 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $520 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
