I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After worsening Parkinson's disease Lena can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lena 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. Lena worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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 $3,500 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $2,050 • Medication and prescriptions: $760 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Jonas
