Care for Mason, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Dundee

Mason can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $4,200.

I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After worsening Parkinson's disease Mason can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mason desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Mason worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $4,200 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $440 • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,340 Thanks for reading all this.
