I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After the death of his spouse 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 50 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 farmer, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,150 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $920 • Medication and prescriptions: $105 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125 Glad we found this place. - Diego

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Wishing you peace, Diego. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
