I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a heart attack Gabriel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gabriel 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. Gabriel worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $1,550 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,050 • Medication and prescriptions: $210 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $105 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $185 With deep gratitude, Alejandro
