I'm caring for me, who's 96. After a heart attack Pedro can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Pedro 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. Pedro worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 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 $5,450 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,950 • Medication and prescriptions: $570 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $570 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
