Malsha wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care

I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Malsha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Malsha desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Malsha worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $700 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $390 • Medication and prescriptions: $125 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
