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. - Swati
