Yu wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After the death of his spouse Yu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yu 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. Yu worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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 $2,450 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $360 • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,900 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $190 I hope life is good to you. - Guo
