Duque de Caxias

I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Ricardo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ricardo 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. Ricardo worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $1,200 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $850 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $155 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Isabela
