I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a heart attack Kurniawan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kurniawan 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. Kurniawan worked all of his life as a bus driver, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $550 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $440 • Medication and prescriptions: $50 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Novi
