I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After worsening Parkinson's disease Emilia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Emilia desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Emilia 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 six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,750
• Medication and prescriptions: $450
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $290
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

sending love, Malin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Tacoma.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Jakarta.
hang in there, Malin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Messina but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Best of luck, Malin. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Take care, Malin. Your post was clear and honest
Hope things get better soon, Malin. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from London.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. After 23 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Best of luck, Malin. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
