I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Katarzyna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Katarzyna 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. Katarzyna worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $550 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $220 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $215 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Zbigniew
