Tim wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Tim, 81, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,050 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After worsening Parkinson's disease Tim can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tim 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.
Tim worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $300
• Medication and prescriptions: $510
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
