I'm caring for my mother, who's 87. After worsening Parkinson's disease Madeline can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Madeline 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. Madeline worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,800 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (four months): $3,000 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $370 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430 Thank you so much. - Avery
