I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After worsening Parkinson's disease Araceli can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Araceli desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Araceli worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $3,300 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $2,000 • Medication and prescriptions: $750 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
