I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a stroke last July Gabriele can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gabriele desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Gabriele worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230
• Medication and prescriptions: $420
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
