I'm caring for my father, who's 91. After worsening Parkinson's disease Nikolai can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nikolai 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. Nikolai worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $400 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145 • Medication and prescriptions: $165 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90 Thanks for reading all this.

      The list at the bottom is the whole picture. hospital bed and mattress rental is the biggest at $145. Let me know if you want more detail.

  • This could happen to any of us. After 16 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

    • Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Moscow.

      • Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
