I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a stroke last April Tomasz can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tomasz 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. Tomasz worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,250 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $3,000 • Medication and prescriptions: $580 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $410 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Julia

  1. Small update. $1,138 so far, I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($852 in total) I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
