I'm caring for me, who's 77. After worsening Parkinson's disease Teresita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Teresita 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.
Teresita worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $250 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
