I'm caring for my father, who's 87. After a heart attack Ali can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ali 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. Ali 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 three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $2,800 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $2,100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400 Thank you for reading my story.
