I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After the death of his spouse Jonathan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jonathan 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. Jonathan worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $3,300 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,350 • Medication and prescriptions: $380 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Tammy
