I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After a fall and hip fracture Imam can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Imam 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. Imam worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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 $750 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $510 • Medication and prescriptions: $85 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 Thanks for being kind about this. - Joko

                is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Imam.

                • It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (six months) is the big one at $510, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
