Mutua wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care

I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After a heart attack Mutua can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mutua 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. Mutua 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 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 $700 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 • Part-time carer (six months): $595 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
