I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a fall and hip fracture Elijah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elijah 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. Elijah worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,850 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (three months): $3,700 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $480 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $290 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Eli
