I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Everett can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Everett 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. Everett worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $3,250 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,550 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $550 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $150 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Vivian

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($369 in total) the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
