I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a fall and hip fracture Mussa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mussa desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Mussa worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $900 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $610 • Medication and prescriptions: $115 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115 Thank you so much. - Lucy
