I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a heart attack James can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and James 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. James worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $700 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Medication and prescriptions: $165 • Part-time carer (four months): $505 Glad we found this place. - Maina
