Mwanza
I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a heart attack Paul can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Paul 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. Paul worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 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 $800 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $650 • Medication and prescriptions: $45 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - John
