I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a heart attack Joseph can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Joseph desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Joseph worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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 $5,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $4,250
• Medication and prescriptions: $390
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing Joseph a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Toulouse.
