I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After the death of his spouse Cristian can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cristian desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Cristian 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 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 $400 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($144 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cristian.
Sure. The biggest one is hospital bed and mattress rental, $125. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
wishing you peace, Daniela. Hope you get there
