Winston-Salem

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a stroke last January Craig can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Craig 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. Craig worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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 $3,950 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,700 • Medication and prescriptions: $460 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $360 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
