I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After a diagnosis of dementia Fábio can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fábio desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Fábio worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $950 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 • Part-time carer (three months): $690 • Medication and prescriptions: $150 If you're reading this, thank you.
