I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Pavel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Pavel 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.
Pavel worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $400 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best, Larysa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
