I'm caring for me, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease 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 40 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 nurse, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $4,850 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $3,550 • Medication and prescriptions: $740 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $240 With deep gratitude, Álvaro
