Obuasi

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Francis can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Francis 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. Francis worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $750 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $560 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 I hope life is good to you. - Elizabeth
