I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After worsening Parkinson's disease Nicholas can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nicholas desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Nicholas 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 four 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 $4,600 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $700 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340 • Part-time carer (four months): $3,560 If you're reading this, thank you. - Marilyn
