Gili cannot afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we are asking for $1,400.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After worsening Parkinson's disease Gili can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gili 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.
Gili worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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 $1,400 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $650
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $440
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out, Galit. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Manila but we're thinking of you
Hope it all works out, Galit. Shared it with a few friends.
Stay strong, Galit. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Beersheba.
Sending good thoughts, Galit. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
rooting for you, Galit. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Beersheba.
Hope you get there. Greetings from Sydney
