I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a stroke last February Thanawat can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Thanawat desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Thanawat worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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 $1,200 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $800 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180 With deep gratitude, Pichai
