I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Pamela can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Pamela 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. Pamela worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,900 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $4,250 • Medication and prescriptions: $380 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Tiffany

  1. Small update. $1,903 so far, the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 29% now ($1,409). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
