I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a fall and hip fracture Haris can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Haris 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.
Haris worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $790
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, Lestari. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
