I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After the death of his spouse Michał can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Michał 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.
Michał worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $155
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $210
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,085
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
