I'm caring for me, who's 75. After worsening Parkinson's disease Anthony can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anthony desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Anthony worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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 $5,350 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (eight months): $4,300 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $360 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430 Thank you for reading my story. - Anthony

    You're not alone, Anthony. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Rochester.

      Thinking of you, Anthony. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

      • look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.

        • Sending good thoughts, Anthony. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

          • I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Rochester.
