I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Vinh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vinh desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Vinh worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $500 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $320 • Medication and prescriptions: $45 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 Thanks for reading all this.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vinh.
