I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After worsening Parkinson's disease Amal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Amal 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. Amal worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,550 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $2,950 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150 • Medication and prescriptions: $450 With deep gratitude, Zaid

Updates from Zaid

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,433 in total) the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Thanks for sharing this, Zaid. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Móstoles.
