I'm caring for me, who's 85. After worsening Parkinson's disease Amol can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Amol desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Amol worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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 $600 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $440 • Medication and prescriptions: $85 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35 I hope life is good to you.

  • This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Pune.
