Leah wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care

Help Leah stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 87. After a diagnosis of dementia Leah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Leah 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. Leah worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $5,650 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $4,950 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $390 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Rowan
