I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After worsening Parkinson's disease Miguel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Miguel 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. Miguel worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $400 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $210 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 Thanks for being kind about this.
