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

I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After worsening Parkinson's disease Florence can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Florence 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.
Florence worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $550 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Part-time carer (eight months): $445
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
