I'm caring for me, who's 83. After worsening Parkinson's disease Victor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Victor 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. Victor worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,000 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $710 • Medication and prescriptions: $100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
