I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a heart attack Marek can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Marek 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. Marek 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 eight 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 $1,400 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $950 • Medication and prescriptions: $210 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $160 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Ewa

      Hope the doctors have good news. After 21 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
