I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Itzel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Itzel desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Itzel worked all of her life as a nurse, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,650 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,250 • Medication and prescriptions: $175 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115 Glad we found this place. - Marisol
