I'm caring for me, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Roberto can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Roberto 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. Roberto worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,450 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,150 • Medication and prescriptions: $155 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
