Home care fund for Scarlett in San Diego
Scarlett cannot afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we are asking for $1,600.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After worsening Parkinson's disease Scarlett can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Scarlett desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Scarlett worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $700
• Medication and prescriptions: $500
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $400
Thank you for reading my story.
Updates from Cameron
Small update. $878 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.
Quick update: $633 raised so far (40%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($533 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Take care. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Shared this with my family. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of San Diego.
Sending love, Cameron. Hope you get there. Love from San Antonio.
Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update.
