I'm caring for me, who's 83. After worsening Parkinson's disease Yogesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yogesh desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Yogesh worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $450 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $320 • Medication and prescriptions: $50 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $25 If you're reading this, thank you. - Yogesh
