Maud, 91, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $2,850 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After worsening Parkinson's disease Maud can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Maud 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.
Maud worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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 $2,850 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $185
• Medication and prescriptions: $300
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,365
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Breda
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Lagos.
