Fresno
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Mia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mia 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. Mia worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $4,200 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,800 • Medication and prescriptions: $740 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $465 If you're reading this, thank you. - Bella

  • Praying for you. Wishing Mia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
