Mangesh wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care

I'm caring for my father, who's 85. After a stroke last March Mangesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mangesh 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. Mangesh worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $500 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Part-time carer (eight months): $350 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
