I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a diagnosis of dementia Diego can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Diego 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. Diego worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $1,500 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $1,200 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $155 • Medication and prescriptions: $145 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Alberto
