I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Landon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Landon 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.
Landon worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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 $4,150 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $330
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $510
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,310
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope things get better soon, Wayne. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings!
Sending strength, Wayne. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
