Adrian wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Adrian stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 United States482 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After a heart attack Adrian can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adrian desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Adrian worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $1,750 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270
• Medication and prescriptions: $840
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $640
Thank you so much.

take care, Dustin. Hope you get there. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
so sorry you're going through this, Dustin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Adrian a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
good luck. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
