Beau wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Beau stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇨🇦 Canada1,337 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease Beau can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Beau 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.
Beau worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $350
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $200
Every share and every dollar helps.

This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. Take care.
