I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After worsening Parkinson's disease Min-ho can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Min-ho 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. Min-ho worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $2,450 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,650 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $135 • Medication and prescriptions: $665 If you're reading this, thank you.
