I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After worsening Parkinson's disease Quinn can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Quinn 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. Quinn worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $4,300 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $500 • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,050 • Medication and prescriptions: $750 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
