I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After a heart attack Fernando can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fernando desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Fernando worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $450 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $195 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Medication and prescriptions: $205 Thanks for reading all this. - Lúcia
