Andrzej wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Andrzej can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $1,150.

I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Andrzej can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Andrzej 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.
Andrzej worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $200
• Part-time carer (eight months): $850
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
