I'm caring for my father, who's 91. After a stroke last September Herman can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Herman 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. Herman worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $950 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (four months): $880 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Divina
