I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After the death of his spouse Adrián can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adrián desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Adrián worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $400 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $130
• Medication and prescriptions: $160
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Esteban. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
