I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After worsening Parkinson's disease Jackson can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jackson 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. Jackson worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $5,000 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $570 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420 • Part-time carer (six months): $4,010 Glad we found this place.
