I'm caring for me, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Anthony can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anthony 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. Anthony worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 2 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 $4,350 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,000 • Medication and prescriptions: $650 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Anthony

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($781 in total) the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
