I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After worsening Parkinson's disease Gabriela can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gabriela 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. Gabriela worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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 $900 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (six months): $650 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $140 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 Thank you for reading my story.
