I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a stroke last March Leonardo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Leonardo 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. Leonardo worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 2 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 $2,750 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,900 • Medication and prescriptions: $290 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $210 Thank you so much. - Daniela

    So sorry you're going through this, Daniela. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
