Sunita can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $5,450.

I'm caring for me, who's 75. After worsening Parkinson's disease Sunita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sunita 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.
Sunita worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $5,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $730
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $400
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $270
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Sunita. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Keep going, Sunita. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Aurangabad!
