I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Ren can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ren desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Ren worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $850 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $450
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180
Glad we found this place.

wishing Ren a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
