I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After a heart attack Ihor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ihor 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. Ihor worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $1,700 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 • Medication and prescriptions: $105 • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,540 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Halyna
