I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Vijay can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vijay 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.
Vijay worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $200 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
Thank you for reading my story.
