Beau wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Beau cannot afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we are asking for $1,650.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a diagnosis of dementia 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 30 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 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $650
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $410
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $590
With deep gratitude,
Elias

Rooting for you, Elias. Shared it with a few friends.
