I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Sven can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sven 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. Sven worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $5,500 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $4,350 • Medication and prescriptions: $270 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460 Thanks for reading all this.
