I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After worsening Parkinson's disease Isabel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Isabel 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.
Isabel worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $5,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,600
• Medication and prescriptions: $570
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $400
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good luck, Claudia. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Bacoor
Stay strong, Claudia. Hope the doctors have good news
Thinking of you, Claudia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Karachi.
Good luck, Claudia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
