I'm caring for me, who's 91. After a fall and hip fracture Sandesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sandesh 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. Sandesh worked all of his life as a farmer, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $950 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35 • Medication and prescriptions: $45 • Part-time carer (eight months): $870 Thanks for being kind about this.
