I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After the death of his spouse Carlo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Carlo 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. Carlo worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $2,350 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $1,600 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $490 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Elena

        Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Heliopolis this morning. Take care.
