I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After a fall and hip fracture Lâm can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lâm 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. Lâm worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $800 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $490 • Medication and prescriptions: $145 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Lộc

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lâm!

        • It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (six months) is the big one at $490, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.

      • So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Love from Ekurhuleni
