I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After the death of his spouse Daniel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Daniel 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.
Daniel 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,900
• Medication and prescriptions: $790
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $400
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $360
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going, Autumn. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Kediri
Wishing Daniel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
hang in there, Autumn. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Take care, Autumn. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Sending strength, Autumn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from San Francisco.
