Care for Paul, 92: help cover a carer and medication in Hamilton

I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a stroke last July Paul can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Paul 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. Paul worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $4,700 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $3,500 • Medication and prescriptions: $410 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $540 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Sarah
