I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After worsening Parkinson's disease Aleena can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aleena desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Aleena worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $750 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $600 • Medication and prescriptions: $75 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $20 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 Thank you so much.

Updates from Rashid

  1. Quick update: $150 raised so far (20%). I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 19% now ($140). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($130 in total) I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
