I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After the death of his spouse Wyatt can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wyatt 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. Wyatt worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,650 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $3,350 • Medication and prescriptions: $710 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $155 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $435 Glad we found this place.
