I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Chamara can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chamara desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Chamara 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 $650 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $360 • Medication and prescriptions: $130 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 Glad we found this place. - Ruwini

                  Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (eight months) comes first ($360) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

              • Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Love from San Francisco
