I'm caring for me, who's 79. After a stroke last June Lucas can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lucas 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. Lucas worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $3,400 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $510 • Part-time carer (six months): $2,630 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Lucas

  1. Update from Liverpool: I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations. We're at 14% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
