Anthony wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care

Help Anthony stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Anthony can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anthony 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. Anthony worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,550 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,600 • Medication and prescriptions: $510 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $440 With deep gratitude, Anthony
