I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After the death of his spouse Mason can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mason 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.
Mason worked all of his life as a farmer, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $5,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $810
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $390
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400
I hope life is good to you.

Sending love. Wishing Mason a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Fort Worth
