Care for Fasil, 86: help cover a carer and medication in Adama

I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After a stroke last September Fasil can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fasil 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. Fasil worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 5 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $500 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $360 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65 • Medication and prescriptions: $75 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
