Beau wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care

Help Beau stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 74. 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 25 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 nurse, and raised 3 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 $6,450 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $5,250 • Medication and prescriptions: $580 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $160 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Beau
