I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After worsening Parkinson's disease Patience can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Patience 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. Patience worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 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: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65 • Medication and prescriptions: $50 • Part-time carer (eight months): $485 With deep gratitude, Hannah

    I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together.
