I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease Nisha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nisha desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Nisha worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
โข Part-time carer (eight months): $620
โข Medication and prescriptions: $85
โข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
โข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
