Vera wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care

Help Vera stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a diagnosis of dementia Vera can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vera desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Vera worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $650 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $370 • Medication and prescriptions: $165 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50 Thanks for being kind about this. - Ihor

    Hang in there, Ihor. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 24 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless
