Yekaterinburg
I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After worsening Parkinson's disease Igor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Igor desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Igor worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $1,450 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $1,150 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 I hope life is good to you.

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Yekaterinburg

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (six months), advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.

          It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Coyoacán donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
