I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture Niklas can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Niklas 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.
Niklas worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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 $2,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,200
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $440
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
