I'm caring for me, who's 82. After worsening Parkinson's disease Devi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Devi 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. Devi worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $1,050 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $710 • Medication and prescriptions: $240 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Devi

Updates from Devi

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($226 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
