Dinda wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Dinda stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After worsening Parkinson's disease Dinda can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dinda 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.
Dinda worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $650 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
• Part-time carer (three months): $485
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 18 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you and your family, Haris. Shared it with a few friends. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
