I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After worsening Parkinson's disease Janet can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Janet desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Janet worked all of her life as a farmer, 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 $200 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 Glad we found this place.
