Joaquim wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After the death of his spouse Joaquim can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Joaquim desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Joaquim worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $1,150 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $195 • Part-time carer (eight months): $855 Thanks for being kind about this.
