I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Cristian can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cristian 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. Cristian worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,400 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $940 • Medication and prescriptions: $220 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Renata
