I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After the death of his spouse Eduardo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eduardo desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Eduardo worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 2 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,150 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 • Medication and prescriptions: $200 • Part-time carer (four months): $890 Every share and every dollar helps.
