I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a diagnosis of dementia Sarah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sarah 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.
Sarah worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $910
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30
With deep gratitude,
Sarah

Stay strong, Sarah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Mumbai
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Thika
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (three months), advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
hang in there, Sarah. Get well soon.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Buenos Aires so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Dwarka
Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Thane this morning. Blessings.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
