I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After the death of his spouse Emiliano can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Emiliano desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Emiliano 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 eight 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: • Part-time carer (eight months): $560 • Medication and prescriptions: $230 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $175 Every share and every dollar helps. - Fernando
