I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a heart attack Parth can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Parth 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. Parth worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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 $250 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 Thanks for reading all this. - Atul
