Brian wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Brian stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Brian can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Brian 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.
Brian worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $4,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,100
• Medication and prescriptions: $810
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $460
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $480
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Jameson. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Lapu-Lapu so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Iloilo City.
So sorry you're going through this, Jameson. Hope you get there
hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Guadalajara.
