Chidinma can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $850.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After worsening Parkinson's disease Chidinma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chidinma 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. Chidinma worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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 $850 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $730 • Medication and prescriptions: $105 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $15 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Yinka

    Wishing Chidinma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
