Care for Naomi, 96: help cover a carer and medication in Los Angeles
Help Naomi stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world3,906 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After worsening Parkinson's disease Naomi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Naomi 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.
Naomi worked all of her 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 four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,850 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
• Medication and prescriptions: $500
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,110
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Praying for you, Brooks. Hope you get there. Love from Epe.
rooting for you, Brooks. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Best of luck, Brooks. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
take care, Brooks. Get well soon.
you're not alone, Brooks. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Brooks. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
