I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a stroke last June Christopher can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Christopher 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. Christopher 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 three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $6,100 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $4,550 • Medication and prescriptions: $580 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $490 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $480 With deep gratitude, Abigail
