I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Yuri can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yuri 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. Yuri worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $1,150 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $760 • Medication and prescriptions: $135 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $105 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Tatiana

    • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yuri

      • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (three months) comes first ($760) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
