Adriana wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Adriana stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After worsening Parkinson's disease Adriana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adriana 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.
Adriana worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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 $1,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $240
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Riyadh.
thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Adriana?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (three months), advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best
Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mérida
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adriana.
Part-time carer (three months) is $1,350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
How is Adriana doing now?
rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
