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 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
