Care for Patrick, 81: help cover a carer and medication in Kingston

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After the death of his spouse Patrick can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Patrick 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. Patrick worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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 $350 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $140 • Medication and prescriptions: $125 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Rohan
