I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease Beau can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Beau 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. Beau worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 (eight months): $2,700 • Medication and prescriptions: $350 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $200 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. Take care.
