Dignity in old age: caring for Paisley
Paisley can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $1,050.
🇺🇸 New York, New York, United States723 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease Paisley can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Paisley desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Paisley worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
• Medication and prescriptions: $370
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Jaxon
Quick update: $361 raised so far (34%). I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($350 in total) I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you and your family, Jaxon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up.
Rooting for you, Jaxon. Get well soon. Love from Moscow
Keep going. Wishing Paisley a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending strength, Jaxon. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Dammam.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
