I'm caring for my father, who's 87. After the death of his spouse Gustavo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gustavo 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.
Gustavo worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $1,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,150
• Medication and prescriptions: $180
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
