I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a heart attack Murat can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Murat 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. Murat worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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 $1,200 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $890 • Medication and prescriptions: $135 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Hülya
