I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a stroke last July Manuel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Manuel desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Manuel 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 three 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 $250 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
Every share and every dollar helps.
