I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Paula can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Paula desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Paula worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $1,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $870
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 37 people at work.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Faisalabad
