I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After worsening Parkinson's disease Chalida can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chalida 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. Chalida worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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 $1,550 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125 • Part-time carer (six months): $1,355 I hope life is good to you.

    So sorry you're going through this, Pairoj. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning.

      Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal. Blessings
