Simone wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Simone stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world1,296 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After worsening Parkinson's disease Simone can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Simone 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.
Simone worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

so sorry you're going through this, Arthur. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you and your family, Arthur. Hope this works out for you
hope it all works out, Arthur. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
