I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a stroke last October Marcos can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Marcos 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. Marcos worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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 $1,700 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,250 • Medication and prescriptions: $230 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $135 Thanks for reading all this. - Adriana
