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. - Lin
