Sumon, 89, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $700 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After the death of his spouse Sumon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sumon desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Sumon 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 six months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $700 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
• Part-time carer (six months): $580
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
