I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After worsening Parkinson's disease Eli can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eli 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.
Eli worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,800
• Medication and prescriptions: $360
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $620
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, Alyssa. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Dallas so I could bring a meal.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Thinking of Liverpool.
Take care, Alyssa. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Hang in there, Alyssa. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
