I'm caring for my father, who's 91. After the death of his spouse Nnamdi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nnamdi 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. Nnamdi worked all of his life as a bus driver, 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 $800 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 • Medication and prescriptions: $90 • Part-time carer (six months): $655 Every share and every dollar helps.
