Care for Shanice, 92: help cover a carer and medication in Kingston

I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After worsening Parkinson's disease Shanice can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shanice 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. Shanice worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $350 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165 Every share and every dollar helps.
