Cherry wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Cherry can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $800.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After worsening Parkinson's disease Cherry can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cherry 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.
Cherry worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $480
• Medication and prescriptions: $135
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
