Dignity in old age: caring for Duy

Duy can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After the death of his spouse Duy can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Duy 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. Duy worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 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 $650 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $480 • Medication and prescriptions: $55 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
