I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After worsening Parkinson's disease Novi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Novi 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. Novi worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $900 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $125 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70 • Part-time carer (four months): $705 Thanks for being kind about this.
