I'm caring for me, who's 77. After worsening Parkinson's disease Emma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Emma desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Emma worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,800
• Medication and prescriptions: $420
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

This could happen to any of us. Love from Vadodara
thinking of you and your family, Emma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Dayton but we're thinking of you!
