Providing Full time care for Dad
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Nu'u. I'm raising funds to support my family financially for the next few months while I continue to provide fulltime care for my father. I've been the primary carer since 2021 without any assistance from Centrelink because I'm not eligible for a Carers Benefit or Allowance. I am also not eligible for Hardship from my superannuation fund because I'm not eligible for a Income Support Payment from Centrelink. See my dilemma?.. In April I separated with my husband who supported me financially while I reduced my hours of work to focus solely on providing my fathers care because it is very demanding and extremely exhausting. My father had a stroke in 2021 and has since been immobile and also shows early signs of Dementia. He requires a lot of attention and needs assistance with moving from bed to wheelchair or commode for showers or toilet. Due to the immobility and new baseline of cognition, he also requires continence pads and regular changing. My father has recently been hospitalised and will now require even more attention. Since 2021 my family and I have supported my father without any outside assistance, whether financially or with any Service Providers, but now we desperately need help. I've reached out to to organise a Home Care Package to assist with some things around the home, but the brunt of what we need right now is financial. Please give what you can so I can keep taking care of my father. Thank you all in advance.
