I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a heart attack Filip can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Filip 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.
Filip worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,000
• Medication and prescriptions: $480
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $490
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
