I'm caring for my father, who's 91. After a stroke last August Tyler can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tyler 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. Tyler 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 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 $6,500 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $700 • Part-time carer (eight months): $5,500 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300 If you're reading this, thank you. - Nova
