I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After the death of his spouse Arthur can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Arthur 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.
Arthur worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $500 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $210
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $140
• Medication and prescriptions: $150
Every share and every dollar helps.
