I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After the death of his spouse Renato can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Renato 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.
Renato worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $1,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there. Hope you get there. After 16 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings!
