I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After a stroke last July Miles can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Miles desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Miles 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 six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,950 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (six months): $2,800 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $510 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $320 I hope life is good to you. - Eli

  • Thinking of you, Eli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together.

    • good luck. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 28 people at work. God bless.

      • rooting for you. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
