I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After worsening Parkinson's disease Thandi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Thandi 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. Thandi 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 four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $300 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100 I hope life is good to you.
