I'm caring for me, who's 83. After a fall and hip fracture Colton can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Colton 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. Colton worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $6,450 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $5,250 • Medication and prescriptions: $270 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $450 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $480 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Colton
