Dawid wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care

Help Dawid stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After the death of his spouse Dawid can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dawid 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. Dawid 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 four 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 $4,600 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $3,600 • Medication and prescriptions: $290 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $330 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Igor

      • Ye-jin KimQuestion

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dawid

        • Igor Kazimierz OlszewskiOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (four months) comes first ($3,600) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.

                      Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 15 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
