I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a stroke last August Juan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Juan 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. Juan worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $800 goes: โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 โ€ข Part-time carer (three months): $655 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Paolo
