I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After worsening Parkinson's disease Elizabeth can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elizabeth desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Elizabeth worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $700 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $540 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Eric

  1. Update from Madina: I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. We're at 33% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($158 in total) the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Madina: we've started the first stage. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
