I'm caring for my father, who's 87. After a fall and hip fracture Kariuki can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kariuki 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. Kariuki worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $700 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $490 • Medication and prescriptions: $85 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
