I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a heart attack Jackson can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jackson 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. Jackson worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $4,650 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $3,650 • Medication and prescriptions: $430 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340 Every share and every dollar helps.
