I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Maciej can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Maciej 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. Maciej worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 2 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 $2,450 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,000 • Medication and prescriptions: $160 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165 Thank you for reading my story. - Józef

  • Thinking of you, Józef. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Warsaw.

    • Hang in there, Józef. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care!
