Charles can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $3,700.

I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After worsening Parkinson's disease Charles can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Charles desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Charles worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,500
• Medication and prescriptions: $420
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
With deep gratitude,
Carter

Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Hialeah!
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. After 8 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope September is when things finally get easier. All the best.
