Aiden can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $3,700.

I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a heart attack Aiden can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aiden 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.
Aiden worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $680
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Aiden. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
sending good thoughts, Aiden. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Rooting for you, Aiden. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
