I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After the death of his spouse Ismael can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ismael desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Ismael worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,200 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,000 • Medication and prescriptions: $100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 I hope life is good to you. - Manuel
