I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Nova can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nova 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. Nova worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,100 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $2,900 • Medication and prescriptions: $550 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220 Every share and every dollar helps. - Allison
