Paloma can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $1,350.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After worsening Parkinson's disease Paloma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Paloma 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. Paloma worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,350 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $840 • Medication and prescriptions: $250 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 21 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from San Diego
