Care for Cynthia, 83: help cover a carer and medication in Ann Arbor
Cynthia, 83, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $2,800 for a carer and medicines.
🇺🇸 Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States1,965 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After worsening Parkinson's disease Cynthia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cynthia 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.
Cynthia worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $480
Every share and every dollar helps.

look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Ann Arbor.
what exactly is the $2,800 for?
Part-time carer (six months) is $2,100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Medina but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Awka.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
