I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a stroke last May Omondi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Omondi 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. Omondi worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 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 $1,000 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $690 • Medication and prescriptions: $155 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Aisha

I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 11 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Liverpool.
