I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a fall and hip fracture Todd can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Todd 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. Todd 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 four 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 $3,050 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $1,550 • Medication and prescriptions: $680 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $480 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Isaac

Updates from Isaac

Good news. Because of your gifts ($110 in total) I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $230 raised so far (8%). I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
