I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After the death of his spouse 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 25 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 shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $800
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120
Thank you for reading my story.
