I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a heart attack Christopher can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Christopher 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.
Christopher worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $3,000 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $580
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $370
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Love from Coventry
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Seville.
Hope it all works out, Isaiah. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hang in there, Isaiah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. God bless.
