I'm caring for me, who's 78. 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 30 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 factory worker, 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 $1,300 goes: โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $350 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $370 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $580 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
