I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a heart attack Harsha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Harsha 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.
Harsha worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $520
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
