I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a stroke last August Owen can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Owen 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. Owen worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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 $4,600 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $3,250 • Medication and prescriptions: $730 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400 Thank you so much.
