Opas wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care

I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Opas can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Opas 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. Opas worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,450 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,100 • Medication and prescriptions: $140 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Opas
