I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a stroke last April Hugo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hugo 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. Hugo worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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 $3,750 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $2,500 • Medication and prescriptions: $350 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $600 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Adriana

  • praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

    • Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 22 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care

        Wishing you peace, Adriana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
