I'm caring for me, who's 78. After worsening Parkinson's disease Aria can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aria 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.
Aria worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $5,700 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $350
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $410
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $540
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family, Aria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Los Angeles.
