I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia Florence can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Florence desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Florence worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $250 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $65 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Sending love, Lucy. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.

    • Sending strength. Wishing Florence a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Aurangabad
