I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease Dinesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dinesh 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. Dinesh worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $600 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $350 • Medication and prescriptions: $125 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 Thank you for reading my story.
