I'm caring for my father, who's 85. After worsening Parkinson's disease Everett can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Everett desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Everett worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,100 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (three months): $2,050 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $390 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $660 With deep gratitude, Rylee

Updates from Rylee

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($327 in total) the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Albany: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
