I'm caring for me, who's 88. After a diagnosis of dementia Quinn can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Quinn 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.
Quinn worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $950 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310
• Medication and prescriptions: $360
Every share and every dollar helps.

Keep going, Quinn. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Comilla.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Winnipeg
Stay strong, Quinn. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Gold Coast so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Jakarta.
Hope you get there. We're a small family in Sheffield but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Sending strength, Quinn. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 14 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Hang in there, Quinn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Nashik.
Sending love, Quinn. Hope this works out for you
Best of luck, Quinn. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Oakland.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Toronto this morning. Thinking of Oakland.
