I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a stroke last August Idris can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Idris 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. Idris worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $2,800 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $2,000 • Medication and prescriptions: $210 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $320 I hope life is good to you. - Zaid
