Lin wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Lin stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 80. After a diagnosis of dementia Lin can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lin desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Lin worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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 $3,700 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,150
• Medication and prescriptions: $770
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $580
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
