I'm caring for my father, who's 91. After a heart attack Aarón can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aarón 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. Aarón worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $1,350 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,100 • Medication and prescriptions: $135 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65 Thank you for reading my story. - Leonardo

  • Sending good thoughts, Leonardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
