Care for Brandon, 94: help cover a carer and medication in Fresno
Help Brandon stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Fresno, California, United States780 views
I'm caring for me, who's 94. After a diagnosis of dementia Brandon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Brandon desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Brandon worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $300
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $410
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
