I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After a heart attack Cameron can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cameron 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.
Cameron worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,750
• Medication and prescriptions: $640
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $260
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
