I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After a fall and hip fracture Alok can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Alok desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Alok worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $650 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $510 • Medication and prescriptions: $50 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
