Taslima 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 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Taslima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Taslima 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.
Taslima worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 (four months): $480
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $20
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Frankfurt
