I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a stroke last August Sergio can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sergio desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Sergio worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,300
• Medication and prescriptions: $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
