I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After worsening Parkinson's disease Levi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Levi 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. Levi worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $1,350 goes: โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $210 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $820 With deep gratitude, Emilia
