I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After a stroke last August Tài can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tài 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. Tài worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $950 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $820 • Medication and prescriptions: $90 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 Every share and every dollar helps.

            Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (eight months), advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
