I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a stroke last July Ramón can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ramón 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.
Ramón worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,050
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
