I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After worsening Parkinson's disease Josiah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Josiah 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. Josiah worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,250 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $520 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $480 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250 Thank you so much.
