Isaac, 84, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $2,450 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After a stroke last June Isaac can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Isaac 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.
Isaac worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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 $2,450 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $660
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,450
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
