I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Nongnuch can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nongnuch desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Nongnuch worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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 $1,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,300
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace, Krit. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Tiruchirappalli this morning. Love from Tiruchirappalli.
Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. Greetings from Marrakesh.
