I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After worsening Parkinson's disease Tamaki can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tamaki desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Tamaki 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 three 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: • Part-time carer (three months): $3,050 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $440 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    Thinking of you, Daiki. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Patras
