Home care fund for Ruth in London
Ruth can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $4,450.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After worsening Parkinson's disease Ruth can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ruth 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.
Ruth worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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 $4,450 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $640
• Medication and prescriptions: $440
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,370
Every share and every dollar helps.

Take care, Marcus. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Zaria.
