Regina, 93, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,800 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease Regina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Regina desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Regina 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 six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $170
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $105
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

stay strong. Get well soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 15 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Sending strength, Santiago. It takes guts to ask. Well done
thinking of you, Santiago. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Katowice but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Cali
Thanks for sharing this, Santiago. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Newcastle upon Tyne.
