I'm caring for my father, who's 87. After the death of his spouse Kingsley can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kingsley desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Kingsley worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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 $550 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $40
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Part-time carer (three months): $480
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
