I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a stroke last July Hong can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hong 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. Hong worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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 $1,400 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $450 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $460 • Medication and prescriptions: $490 Thanks for being kind about this.

    it takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. All the best.

    • Wishing you the best, Yu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Montgomery.
