I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After a fall and hip fracture Ilham can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ilham 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. Ilham worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 (three months): $880 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Zahra
