I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After the death of his spouse Akash can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Akash desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Akash worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $700 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $520 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 Glad we found this place.
