Care for Carter, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Saint Paul

Carter can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $4,100.

I'm caring for me, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Carter can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Carter desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Carter worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $4,100 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,800 • Medication and prescriptions: $540 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $310 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $450 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
