I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a diagnosis of dementia Paisley can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Paisley desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Paisley worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $5,300 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $3,900 • Medication and prescriptions: $720 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Joseph
