Hobart
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Kiên can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kiên 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. Kiên worked all of his life as a bus driver, 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 $2,550 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350 • Part-time carer (three months): $1,950 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Phượng
