I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease Idowu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Idowu 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.
Idowu worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $400
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
