I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After worsening Parkinson's disease Nitin can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nitin 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. Nitin worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $900 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Part-time carer (eight months): $820 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Suhas
