Sarita can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After worsening Parkinson's disease Sarita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sarita 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.
Sarita worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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 $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $510
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

how is Sarita doing now?
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless!
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Seoul.
