I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a heart attack Christian can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Christian 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. Christian 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 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 $3,250 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $2,450 • Medication and prescriptions: $230 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $270 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  2. We're at 46% thanks to 40 of you. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($754). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
