I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a heart attack Eduardo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eduardo 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.
Eduardo worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $1,100 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $490
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $390
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
I hope life is good to you.
