Care for Adeline, 75: help cover a carer and medication in Mississauga

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

I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After worsening Parkinson's disease Adeline can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adeline desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Adeline worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $900 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310 • Medication and prescriptions: $380 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $210 Thanks for reading all this.

    take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!

      Rooting for you, Avery. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Hồ Chí Minh City but we're thinking of you. All the best.

            Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Orlando
