I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Enzo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Enzo 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. Enzo 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,950 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $1,700 • Medication and prescriptions: $95 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $155 Thanks for reading all this.
