Aiden wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Aiden can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $4,100.

I'm caring for me, who's 84. 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,550
• Medication and prescriptions: $720
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400

So sorry you're going through this, Aiden. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Mississauga.
Thinking of you and your family, Aiden. Wishing Aiden a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
