I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Asher can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Asher 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.
Asher worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $5,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $770
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280

You're not alone, Clara. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Ciudad de México this morning. All the best!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Asher!
Sure. The biggest one is part-time carer (eight months), $3,700. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
You're not alone, Clara. Shared this with my family. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Dhaka.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Dundee donated after I showed her your page.
Thinking of you and your family, Clara. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Mandurah so I could bring a meal. Take care.
hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best!
