I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Ismael can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ismael 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. Ismael worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $5,350 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $670 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400 • Part-time carer (three months): $4,280 Every share and every dollar helps. - Elena
