Savar
I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After the death of his spouse Sumon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sumon desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Sumon worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $550 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (eight months): $390 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $65 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 Thank you for reading my story.
