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.

    Thanks for sharing this, Otávio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 7 people at work. Blessings
