I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a heart attack Umar can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Umar 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. Umar worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $900 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $100 • Part-time carer (six months): $750 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 Thank you for reading my story. - Irma
