I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After worsening Parkinson's disease Nadia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nadia 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. Nadia worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $300 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85 • Medication and prescriptions: $80 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $135 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Hatem

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($100 in total) I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

    • Rooting for you, Hatem. Looking forward to the next update.

        Rooting for you, Hatem. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
