I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After worsening Parkinson's disease Raúl can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Raúl desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Raúl worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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 $950 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $650 • Medication and prescriptions: $70 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115 Every share and every dollar helps. - Natalia
