Lethbridge
I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a diagnosis of dementia Madeline can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Madeline 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. Madeline worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,800 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,900 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $520 • Medication and prescriptions: $380 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

            Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (eight months) comes first ($3,900) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
