New York

I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After a heart attack Armando can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Armando desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Armando worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,150 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $270 • Medication and prescriptions: $680 Thank you so much. - Rafael
