I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a stroke last April Travis can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Travis desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Travis worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $3,950 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (eight months): $2,500 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $550 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $610 With deep gratitude, Todd
