I'm caring for me, who's 90. After a diagnosis of dementia Gonzalo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gonzalo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Gonzalo worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 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 $1,350 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,150
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Braunschweig
