I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a heart attack Brandon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Brandon desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Brandon worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $6,100 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $4,400 • Medication and prescriptions: $810 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $590 With deep gratitude, Rowan
