I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Enrique can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Enrique desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Enrique worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $1,050 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300 • Medication and prescriptions: $560 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190 Every share and every dollar helps. - Pilar
