Andrei wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Andrei stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Andrei can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Andrei 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.
Andrei worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $1,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $960
• Medication and prescriptions: $220
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $130
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Update from Yekaterinburg: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($60 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Gazipur.
