I'm caring for me, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Eri can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eri 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.
Eri 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 eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,650 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $600
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $350
I hope life is good to you.
