I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a fall and hip fracture Seung-hyun can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Seung-hyun desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Seung-hyun worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,250
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250
