I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Bohdan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bohdan 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.
Bohdan worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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 $1,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $250
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $160
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Rooting for you, Bohdan. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Moscow.
