I'm caring for me, who's 82. After a heart attack Jose can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jose 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.
Jose worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $2,900 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $490
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,140
If you're reading this, thank you.
