Gita wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care

Gita, 89, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $750 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After worsening Parkinson's disease Gita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gita desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Gita worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $750 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $480 • Medication and prescriptions: $125 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 With deep gratitude, Ayu
