I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a diagnosis of dementia Trisha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Trisha 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. Trisha worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $800 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 • Part-time carer (eight months): $720 Every share and every dollar helps.
