I'm caring for me, who's 94. After worsening Parkinson's disease Haritha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Haritha 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.
Haritha worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $420
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
Glad we found this place.
