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.
