I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After a fall and hip fracture Jordan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jordan 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. Jordan worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $5,050 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360 • Medication and prescriptions: $510 • Part-time carer (four months): $4,180 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
