I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After a fall and hip fracture Vivaan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vivaan 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.
Vivaan 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 $250 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
Thank you so much.
