I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Colton can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Colton 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. Colton worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,350 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340 • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,800 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Nathan
