Jade wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Jade stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Jade can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jade 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.
Jade worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,000 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $330
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,400
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $270
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

take care, Jade. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Moscow so I could bring a meal
gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Amsterdam this morning.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Stockholm but we're thinking of you.
So sorry you're going through this, Jade. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Asaba.
Hang in there, Jade. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
