Emeka wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a diagnosis of dementia Emeka can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Emeka desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Emeka worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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 $550 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $320 • Medication and prescriptions: $85 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Paul
