I'm caring for me, who's 75. After worsening Parkinson's disease Ian can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ian 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. Ian worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,100 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,600 • Medication and prescriptions: $810 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $270 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Ian
