I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a stroke last August Bappy can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bappy 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. Bappy worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 2 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,450 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,650 • Medication and prescriptions: $830 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $440 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $530 With deep gratitude, Parvin

Updates from Parvin

  1. Thank you all. We're at 48% now ($1,651). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,404 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $1,094 so far, the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled.
