I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia Arturo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Arturo 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. Arturo worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $1,250 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $740 • Medication and prescriptions: $230 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $185 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Lourdes
