I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Swapnil can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Swapnil desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Swapnil worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $950 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $670 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120 Thanks for reading all this.
