I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Álvaro can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Álvaro desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Álvaro worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $1,850 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $320 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $270 • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,260 Thank you for reading my story.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Daniela. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Sydney.

    • Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings!

      • Best of luck, Daniela. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Granada
