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

Sending love, Elias. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Sending good thoughts, Elias. Get well soon. Take care.
Rooting for you, Elias. Shared it with a few friends.
keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Elias. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal.
