I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After worsening Parkinson's disease Sandra can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sandra desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Sandra worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,550 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,200 • Medication and prescriptions: $165 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Thanks for sharing this, Carlos. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
