I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After the death of his spouse Francis can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Francis 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. Francis worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $950 goes: โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $150 โ€ข Part-time carer (eight months): $700 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Frank
