I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a heart attack Rudi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rudi 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. Rudi worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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 $550 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $320 • Medication and prescriptions: $100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70 I hope life is good to you.
