Derry

I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After worsening Parkinson's disease Katherine can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Katherine 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. Katherine worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $1,250 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $350 • Medication and prescriptions: $520 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380 Thanks for reading all this. - Heather
