I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After a fall and hip fracture Carter can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Carter 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. Carter worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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 $1,050 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360 • Medication and prescriptions: $350 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340 Every share and every dollar helps. - Wyatt
