Care for Anderson, 86: help cover a carer and medication in Londrina
Anderson can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last September; we're asking for $1,200.

I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After a stroke last September Anderson can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anderson 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.
Anderson worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $780
• Medication and prescriptions: $155
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $135
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Addis Ababa so I could bring a meal.
