I'm caring for me, who's 82. After worsening Parkinson's disease Crystal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Crystal 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. Crystal worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,450 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $730 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $590 • Part-time carer (three months): $2,130 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Crystal
