Home care fund for Danielle in Edinburgh
Danielle, 92, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,400 for a carer and medicines.

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.

Praying for you, Danielle. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Thinking of you, Danielle. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Istanbul.
Thinking of you, Danielle. Get well soon.
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Nha Trang
hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Love from Mardan.
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.
