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

I'm caring for me, who's 96. After worsening Parkinson's disease Swati can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Swati desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Swati worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $490
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $410
• Medication and prescriptions: $450
Thanks for reading all this.
