I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia Kayla can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kayla desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Kayla worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $1,300 goes: โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $130 โ€ข Part-time carer (eight months): $1,000 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $170 If you're reading this, thank you.
