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.
