I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After worsening Parkinson's disease Sandesh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sandesh 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.
Sandesh 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $800 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
• Part-time carer (three months): $630
Thanks for reading all this.
