I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a stroke last September Collins can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Collins 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. Collins worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $200 goes: โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $60 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
