I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After a heart attack Tushar can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tushar 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. Tushar worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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 $700 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $530 • Medication and prescriptions: $50 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Sayali
