I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Kehinde can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kehinde desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Kehinde 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 four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $600 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 • Medication and prescriptions: $105 • Part-time carer (four months): $455 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
