Dignity in old age: caring for Kannan

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a fall and hip fracture Kannan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kannan 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. Kannan worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 5 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 $250 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 Every share and every dollar helps.
