Care for Craig, 81: help cover a carer and medication in Winston-Salem
Craig can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last January; we're asking for $3,950.

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.
