I'm caring for my father, who's 87. After worsening Parkinson's disease Jerome can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jerome desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Jerome worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $750 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $520 • Medication and prescriptions: $95 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Nenita

    Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
