I'm caring for my father, who's 87. After a diagnosis of dementia Thiện can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Thiện 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. Thiện worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $450 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 • Medication and prescriptions: $105 • Part-time carer (eight months): $305 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Quang
