I'm caring for my father, who's 91. After a fall and hip fracture Lester can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lester 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.
Lester worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $730
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
