I'm caring for me, who's 92. After worsening Parkinson's disease Danielle can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Danielle 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. Danielle worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,400 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,300 • Medication and prescriptions: $440 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $370 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $290 Glad we found this place. - Danielle

                take care. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
