I'm caring for me, who's 77. After a heart attack Heinz can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Heinz 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.
Heinz worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $2,200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $330
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,500
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $370
If you're reading this, thank you.
