I'm caring for me, who's 89. After worsening Parkinson's disease Nusrat can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nusrat desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Nusrat worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $200 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.
- Nusrat
