I'm caring for my father, who's 85. 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 25 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 seamstress, and raised 3 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 $4,750 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $3,600 • Medication and prescriptions: $680 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $275 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Anna

  1. Small update. $3,547 so far, the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 23% funded and I made the first payment toward part-time carer.
