Tiffany, 85, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $4,650 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After worsening Parkinson's disease Tiffany can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tiffany desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Tiffany worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,650 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,250
• Medication and prescriptions: $810
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

keep going. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of San Diego.
You're not alone, Declan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Sydney donated after I showed her your page.
You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope July is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Best of luck, Declan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

Best of luck, Declan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Abbottabad so I could bring a meal!
